  Small Boats
I would never recommend you take out a second mortgage to purchase a vessel  as it seems to me, that the older the boat is, the more use she gets!
 
Where it all starts for many boat anglers
GRP goes on and on, you can easily turn an old shabby 'looking' day cruiser into a decent 'angling machine'. Have a look around these articles if you are thinking of buying and fishing from your own boat. To be honest though, heed my warning, Charter boats are more cost effective, but there is a deep satisfaction in doing it all yourself.
